    but if they were anything like me in my situation they didn't know better.

    sorry, but for all vets (you included tbh) not knowing better is not good enough for me. I think being ruthless to imperialists is the way. when a troop occupies a country, I stop caring why they've chosen to do that. the side that causes the destruction gets to explain and hand waive why they did it and I think that's wrong

      Yeah, as someone is actively doing imperial violence, all bets are off. Like I said, I would have deserved to get got for being over there. I don't think it's an excuse, it's context of how the war machine consumes human souls and as fuel to take human lives and converters it into treats and slop. The better we understand these processes, the better we can apply pressure on every weak point.

      I'm trying to keep a materialist analysis in mind, it's how we're going kill the beast.
